wolf. >> alex thomas in london for us. thanks. the excitement brewing over there. jack cafferty is back with us. he's got the cafferty file. that speedo event, jack, you got your -- you all set for whatever's going on? >> i'm not going near that. speedo? that would be a way to empty the pool, the stadium and the surrounding community is for me to put on a speedo. the question this hour is how much money would it take for you to feel wealthy? tim writes from kansas, i think it depends on how you're raised. i was raised by a father who managed a pizza parlor and a stepmother who didn't work. there were five of us. and we lived on less than $18,000 a year. even though i know i have to pay back my student loans, i do have a $16,000 loan, a tuition waiver for being a graduate assistant and a $7,000 salary. so i already feel rich comparatively speaking. pat in wyoming writes about $3 million would do it. anyway, a lot more than it used to be. millionaires aren't so rare. georgia in pennsylvania, i think about $35,000 would do it for me. all i would like to do is pay off
